The overhead in programming today to make it “pretty” for the user is the problem Rita, The core programs look pretty much the same. A One is a One and a Zero is a Zero. A Brick is Brick not a board.

Go back to the Memorex Telex dumb terminals you saw in War Games on the Green Screen data only and the programs ran faster over 4K memory systems to boot. But Data only is not the game anymore. So point is invalid Rita.

I remember learing to write code in both “Octal” snd “Hex”“Lean and Efficient” were the principles we had drummed into our heads. I look at what they’re writing these days and have no question why there are such “security problems” with Systems. They are swollen, gravid monsters of re-written, re-modified, code, kludged together by people from a dozen different committees working at cross-purposes but each of them ALWAYS trying to ensure they’re own Job-Security.

funny thing is: years ago, the computers were used for word processing and spreadsheets; today are used for the same thing, and even though the programs do the same as years ago, and have thousands more memory and cpu, they still use the whole computer resources to do the same as the computers of decades ago

Math books were probably better back in 1968 than they are now. The old math books will cover important things like consumer math, which now you have to get a separate book for, and they will have helpful tips about studying that are lost to time.

That new math hit when I was in third grade- which indeed would have been ‘64. We had just gotten our third level math books- part of a series with apples on the covers. Not long after, they were taken away again, and replaced by the—- (scary sound effects)—- New Math. I went in a flash from doing fine to struggling and never again able to catch up. New Math was a huge, huge oversight. It was developed my math geniuses- who hadn’t a clue how to explain it to people who were not at genius level.

About Working Daze

Working Daze follows the employees trapped at MacroMicroMedia. MMM is a wanna-be software giant, and it's staffed by geeks and clueless management types. VP Rita will try anything that might make a little money (though her ideas usually don't.) Underpaid Dana carries he place and keeps it running, while overpaid Ed sleeps all day. Roy and Kathy are made for each other, and everyman Jay never knows when to keep his opinions to himself. Writer/creator John Zakour is a humor/sci-fi writer, whose work includes the Zach Johnson detective novels. Artist Scott Roberts was a longtime contributor to Nickelodeon Magazine, and is the author of the fantasy novel The Troubling Stone. John and Scott met when they both worked on the Rugrats newspaper strip.
